  • wow, fucking loved this, cant wait for the new album

  • One word:

    NO CLEAN SINGING

    Okay, so maybe a few more words. other than that, songs great, Faceless is great, album should be great, this weed is great.

  • I'm on a drug. It's called, MICHEAL KEENE!

  • didn't pull off the mellow singing at all when i saw them last year, set was still mind blowing!! they should limit that shit, though i do like it on the album :/ hmmmmm

  • I really like this song and I can tell Michael Keene is still taking that fine drug Michael Keene.

  • Where da fuk are teh lyricz?!

  • @bekibooza13

    listen closely and u can hear em, thee not that hard to grasp lol

  • Studio update is out! Check out sumerian's youtube channel

  • Does someone knows if Evan Brewer is on tha track ?!

  • Faceless Y U No Publish New Album!?

  • fucking sooooo excited for the new album!!!

  • still waiting for "this fall" ;_;

  • calm down guys, you have to let the faceless ferment like fine wine. they are that good.

  • @cjtst13 They're clearly working together with Necrophagist on their new album. Both bands will release their new albums on the same date sometime in November, 2314. Wintersun is also expected to release their new album around the same date. This is all provided their cryostatis has dissipated by then.

  • @co1dn3zz Massive props to you for the funny comment and for being a fan of The Faceless, Necrophagist, and Wintersun. Fuck yeah!

  • @coolioisafoolio - who are you to decide?

  • Dear The Faceless,

    WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS PULLING A NECROPHAGIST!!!!

  • @spiritcrusher195 this has a much more structured hooky vibe than anything Necrophagist did, what a silly comparison.

  • @luke666808g dude i'm talking about how these guys haven't released their album yet.

  • @spiritcrusher195 well that makes a little more sense, damn those two.

  • I miss the old vocalist and all, but as long as the musicianship and Michael Keene's occasional singing is present, I'll always be a fan.

  • i'm gonna die waiting for this album to come out

  • Can someone tell me exactly what the deal is with The Faceless and their third album? Wasn't it originally supposed to be out in 2010? Is it still in the works today?

  • this song is simply amazing

  • I came here from Periphery... this isn't bad by any means, but... well, PERIPHERY.

    Still, these guys could become massive - if the rest of the music loving world realises what music IS.

  • @TheDevilAscendant death metal will never be very popular with your usual rock fan, so that's pretty much the biggest "if" I've ever seen.

  • @TheDevilAscendant LOL this band is WAY bigger than Periphery.

  • Is it wrong that i have a chub everytime i listen to this song?

  • Why the fuck do we have to wait a year for albums to come out? This is getting redonkulous.

  • MICHAEL KEENE GIVE ME YOUR POWERS!

  • Although I find this one more challenging. At least in the way I learned it. Rather than just exhale, I had to push it down, pressurizing it, getting it to come out from the bottom of my throat to give it that extra juicy sound. None of that is needed from your typical screaming. Can't believe I let myself become subject to this idiocy. It's a stupid argument, not worth the trouble to, not only "study for years" but to bitch over. The Faceless are badass, vocals too. Nuff said.

  • @rippingthroughmetal PRESSURIZING IT??? BOTTOM OF YOUR THROAT?? LOL!!! No screaming, even this, comes from your throat, You are supposed to scream from your diaphragm, anything coming from your throat will FUCK your vocal chords up and can even lead to nodes in your throat would can become CANCEROUS. Look this shit up you retard, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. My god thank you for this, it really put in perspective just how fucking stupid you are

  • @toThe9thPower Wow... You're going to send a PM to someone, insulting them, and then not allow them to reply back? That's like talking shit to the kids outside from the safety of your own home. Real classy.

  • @rippingthroughmetal Why can't you reply back? I didn't block you or anything? And I don't believe I have private messages blocked. So WTF are you talking about? You can obviously still comment me so it is not like you had no way to reply, I merely did not want you to miss my last comment which you did not even reply to. No screaming should come from your throat, you are going to fuck up your vocal chords and possibly get cancer. That IS not a joke. So I hope you take this seriously

  • @toThe9thPower Not sure. Tells me you have to be my contact to send a PM. PMs different than public comments, so...

  • @rippingthroughmetal I don't recall changing my settings. But perhaps they are blocked or something. Or youtube is being youtube... this is quite common. This new layout made tons of shit not even work. Like being able to see the comment conversation without all the other bullshit, or your own comments being highlighted. Anyways though, PM or not you could easily reply to my point. Screaming does not come from your throat, it should NEVER come from your throat. Diaphragm Diaphragm Diaphragm!!

  • Vocals are just vocals, nothing more. People have their own ways to approach the different types, and I'm astonished anyone takes their "screaming" career as serious as this. I thought it was just do the style you want and get on with it. Either way, learning screams and this don't take more than about a year to get down. All you need to learn is to exhale while closing off your throat to give it that raspy and gritty sound. Bam, you're a screamer now. Not that much effort in learning at all.

  • @rippingthroughmetal More then about a year to get down? are you fucking retarded? no one EVER stops learning in any type of vocalization. Whether it is singing or screaming. My god, you really do know nothing at all. Screaming is far more complex then you suggest. If it is so easy, go upload a clip of you owning the whole genre. Surely if its so easy, you can top the best in the business right?

  • dudes. great music is here. if you disagree, that's fine. everyone will understand. now leave. because the faceless have such devoted fans, it is highly unlikely that you're going to change any minds. all you're doing is bashing on something that isn't your style. which just makes you a deusche. no really, only deusches feel the need to do that. it's not up for debate. most people would probably agree if you feel a need to bash on someone's style then you're probably a deusche.

  • @legendary50ae You can't even spell douche, so please fuck off. LOL

  • Someday technical metal musicians will realize that no one wants to hear cookie monster vocals. Then they will do whole songs that sound like the chorus of this song. Then they will no longer tour in a 1995 chevy van and make $50.00 a gig. Bands like this could actually be successful....wow imagine that.

  • @aaronmiller81 In other words, sell out, you mean?

  • @rippingthroughmetal" Selling Out" is a bullshit, cop out, band wagon term. God forbid somebody sing because they actually just want to. The only possible way someone (a band) could "sell out" is if they started making music for someone other than themselves. That is the ONLY reason anyone should make music. Because you as a player, love playing music.

  • @TheDwarvinColossus And I fully agree, but that aaron guy was suggesting that in order for the Faceless to be successful, they should sound more like what you hear on the radio. That the ultimate goal is to make lots of money and get super famous. When it actually is not.

  • @rippingthroughmetal Yeah... After re-reading the other guys comment again, I realized what you were getting at. My argument has just been made invalid. Sad day.

  • @TheDwarvinColossus Well, you were actually right, you just misunderstood mine is all. However, according to the Law of The9thPower, that guy was being openly sarcastic, which has me completely bewildered.

  • @TheDwarvinColossus YES I WIN!

  • @rippingthroughmetal Sell out? They fucking deserve ever fucking ounce of cash they get.

    Bitching about bands selling out is horse shit.

  • @AJConrady They do deserve the cash, and deserve the fame, but to get that, they would have to sellout. Sad fact about the world of media.

  • The differences between the new vocalist and Derek Rydquist are subtle, so much in fact that it's difficult form me to distinguish between the two. In fact, I had thought that it was Derek until somewhere I read that it was their new vocalist Geoff. Either way, they're good.

  • These are a form of gutterals, just a less intense, if that's the right word. Guys like Big Chocolate and the vocalist from Abominable Putridity got some great gutterals, especially Big C. Listen to that and compare it. It sounds quite similar, just not as low and gurgly.

  • @rippingthroughmetal Less intense? oh for fucks sake. These are not gutturals, you cannot even spell it right so please do not even act like your some kind of expert

  • @toThe9thPower Blast, I've misspelled a word. Guess I know absolutely nothing. You can go on about your vast expertise and knowledge about vocals and how cool you are for knowing it, the fact remains: This style is not easy to master. It took me quite some time, and I'm still trying to get it down.

  • @rippingthroughmetal It took you quite some time? so this argument of yours is based on your own personal experience when mine is actually based on the greater metal community who openly refer to this style as cookie monster vocals... If you are so good, upload a cover of a song, I would love to hear just how terrible you are at this. This style is nothing compared to traditional gutturals or any other style of screaming for that matter. Its like saying yelling is a hard style to master

  • @toThe9thPower <---This guy is obviously lord of the vocals. +5 cookies to you, you win the interwebs! (Seriously, nobody gives a shit.)

  • @AvelthorneT You gave a shit enough to comment me. Sooooooo looks like that is not so accurate. Come at me bro

  • @toThe9thPower You just responded with "Come at me bro". All of your arguments are invalid. Seriously, how long are you going to sit on the same video and plea for internet attention by posting douchebag comments?

  • @AvelthorneT Uh? I said it ONE time. Go look for yourself. It was a joke to, not for you, for me. I am not even saying shit to anyone, I am RESPONDING to the shit they say to me, Which is fair. What arguments of mine are invalid? don't make a claim without backing your shit up, if I am wrong, PROVE IT.

  • @toThe9thPower I don't see your cover proving this easy, or how godlike you are at all, hotshot. And my word, did you really just say the greater of the metal community? I was unaware the quality of music was based on the mass. Regardless, you're so full of yourself you've no idea how wrong you are about the that statement. Now you're just blowing smoke out of your ass.

  • @rippingthroughmetal The music is amazing, derp. Its the vocalist I am talking about, and that comes from my knowledge of the subject and just how often people refer to this style as cookie monster vocals. I will have something up here pretty soon bro, I certainly won't bother with this style, I can do real lows, ones that you can actually hold for a long period of time. How long can you hold yours? upload a clip beating at least 25 seconds and I will be impressed

  • @toThe9thPower i feel you there dude...people are so ignorant and stupid when it comes to growls...whether or not you like it, you at least have to admit talent to it...this coming from a fellow vocalist

  • @toThe9thPower Well, the fact that this style requires quite a bit of stamina makes it difficult to hold the "low" farther than 20 seconds (all the more reason to give credit to this style). Either way, I don't take my vocal career as serious as you do, so I've got nothing to prove. I do it for fun, plain and simple.

  • @rippingthroughmetal Wrong, gutturals was far harder to do, yet when mastered, they can be held for as long as you have air in your lungs. These kinds of lows cannot be held because of the nature of the style. No screaming is melodic, but certain types at least have the ability to be held over time. I can hold a low and go into a high without stopping at all. Also that aaron miller guy is trolling, hes trying to talk shit about what I said.. so hes on your side bro, don't get offended 

  • @toThe9thPower Whatever you say, All Knowing One. And it seems like aarons comment was directed more towards bashing on the "cookie monster" style (which, by the way, is actually only the third time I have ever heard of the reference, making the idea that the majority of the metal community calling it that quite unrealistic). He basically said they should drop the vocalist for pure cleans, which would destroy The Faceless as we know it. It's death metal-style vocals. Get over it.

  • @rippingthroughmetal Dethklock, Faceless, BTBAM, all use this style, Dethklock is just more "talkie" with their vocals. I have heard this reference a ton of times, just because you live under a rock does not mean it is not a common term. Brian Posehn a pretty famous comedian has even used the term in his comedy. He was being sarcastic towards me bro, there are obviously already bands that just sing.. he was trolling. These vocals exist in other genres then just death metal, So you fail again

  • @toThe9thPower And I'm really sick of you, and your arrogant attitude. You're a fucking idiot if you think he was being sarcastic. How the fuck are you able to READ sarcasm? Show me the evidence that he was being sarcastic. I know there are bands who sing, you dumbass. Everyone knows that. You've completely missed not only aarons point, but my follow-up point. My goodness the idiots patrolling YouTube. Why the hell do I bother? Can't even believe I let this go this far.

  • @toThe9thPower you're*

  • @l3mm1w1nk5 I understand the proper usage of the word your.. I just do not like "you're" or "they're" because when I read it in my head it always feels like YOUre... So I have always spelled it that way.

  • @toThe9thPower you spell stuff wrong on purpose? that's fucking stupid, if you say "there" instead of "they're" like "there going to do something" as soon as I see "there" my brain gets ready for a sentence concerning a location, and then when there isn't one, I get that reaction of intensely loathing the person that can't fucking spell "they're" please get over your learning disability so I can read stuff unmolested by bad spelling.

  • @luke666808g You forgot about their... And WOWWWWWWWWWWWW... Could you get more upset over the fucking spelling choices I make? Holy shit, I am amazed. Here is a cool thing you should consider bro.. I CAN DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT, The English language is filled with bullshit and rules that do not make sense, not to mention rules that are not always rules.. If this language was remotely efficient I would consider giving a fuck.. Until then, I will do whatever I want and you can suck dicks

  • @toThe9thPower Sucks that you'll have shitty grammar for life.

  • These inhales sound just a slight bit weaker imo. But i can still give props to people who murder there throats for dis shit

  • @hopoffmyballs We can argue all day about "gutterals" but I can guarantee you with over 200% these are NOT inhales.

  • So I was snooping around, and this is what Michael Keene said on his twitter yesterday about the new album: "About halfway done recording"

    I....I think I'm emotionally distressed over this news..

  • @taloncusp1 they're going to be at summer slaughter, i'm sure they will have something out by then

  • And you can't compare this to btbam its a different style of music!

  • @toThe9thPower I think there is a very big difference between whitechapel and this haha yeah they're gutturals but Phil shapes his tongue to where he touches the roof of his mouth with his tongue try it out it will sound similar. This vocalist uses more air than gurgles which gives him a higher pitch.

  • @AMDINO94 No, They are not. This would be closer to false chord then anything else. Why do you think so many guttural vocalists sound the same? because they are doing the same style. Just like this guy sounds the same with other vocalists to, Listen to Between The Buried and Me, they are doing THE EXACT same style. I never said BTBAM was the same music you retard, I SAID THE VOCALISTS ARE DOING THE SAME STYLE. That isn't exclusive to one genre of music. At least give learning about this a shot

  • @toThe9thPower I don't think they sound the same...

  • @Djobohobo Cool story because they are the exact same style. If you cannot hear the similarities then you know less about vocals than you think you do

  • @toThe9thPower nope.

  • @Djobohobo Think whatever you want, the similarities are obvious. It is the same style, and they sound almost identical. The end

  • Shut the tits up,smoke a j,and enjoy the music folks.

  • All these arguments about vocals is just fucking stupid. Everyone has a different sound, vocal chords, and diaphram. You cant expect this new vocalist to bust out some big chocolate or matti way fucking gutturals! Although people can try to imitate unique vocalist like phil bozeman or trevor strnad, only very few can truly do it. however these are in fact gutturals. he is probably using more air than a "gurgle". its all about shaping your mouth or tongue to get the exact pitch you want

  • @AMDINO94 So Between The Buried And Me does gutturals too? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! Sorry bro, but these are not gutturals, if these are gutturals then every other kind of low would have to be grouped together too and screamers like Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada would also be doing gutturals by your logic, when it is a completely different style and sound. These are not gutturals.. and actually every screamer no matter what style, will sound like others using the same style

  • Im starting to doubt these guys :/

  • @BurnedFaceShreder  how can you doubt those riffs

  • I CANNOT WAIT ANYMORE

    

  • GUYS! GUUUUUYS!!! OMG I KNOW THE GENRE NOW!!!!!

    Ok so a while back a couple of my old bandmates were in this car ride... my friends Andrew and Edge... Andrew has tourettes... and so he was like "Hey Edge can we listen to the faceless?" the INSTANT after Edge said "No" Andrew screamed "I WILL PEE!!!!!"

    So there you have it. The Faceless are anti-piss metal.

  • @toThe9thPower The fact that your examples are Whitechapel and TDWP prove quite the contrary I think, lol.

  • couldn't they have just skipped the gay clean singing

  • @G1NG3RYS Oh god get the fuck out. Learn to appreciate music asshole.

  • its gonna be FUCKIN SICK

  • Vocals sound great to me!

  • Hey check it out, I can actually hear the bass on this song! Good job Faceless

  • @bigbadbang18 are you saying you can't hear the bass in they're songs? because if you can't, you need to get your ears checked

  • who does the clean vocals?

  • @Riiivinn Michael Keene.

    

  • The guitar is the only good part left... 

  • Fuck. I was hoping for better screams then cookie monster vocals.

  • @toThe9thPower dumbass

    

  • @LetgoOFyourBreath sorry, but that is exactly what this guys lows sound like. Dethklock? or however the fuck they spell that shit. That does not impress me. Listen to a vocalist who does actual gutturals and you will see that what this guy is doing isn't impressive. Music, great, we knew that.. but when they switched vocalists I figured they would at least get someone that sounded different and did a legit style.

  • @toThe9thPower If this sounds like the cookie monster, then Nickleback has diversity.

  • @LetgoOFyourBreath What the fuck does Nickleback have to do with this? LOL? It does IN MY OPINION sound like the cookie monster, that is literally what this guy is doing, talking in the deepest lowest voice he can, That is not impressive to me, and is not shit compared to other vocalists who do real gutturals or other vocal styles like false chord or vocal fry, You can love it, cool for you bro, but I have spent a little to much time learning about screaming to ignore this

  • @LetgoOFyourBreath Not in it for vocals? just because they have amazing musicianship, does not mean you should not expect amazing vocals as well. There are tons of vocalists with amazing screaming ability, and what this guy is doing literally is just talking, hence why people refer to this vocal style as cookie monster vocals, because that is actually how the cookie monster sounds more or less. Music is amazing, sure, but I was hoping for a legit screamer to.

  • @toThe9thPower If this is just talking...maybe you don't know as much about vocals as you think you do.

  • @LetgoOFyourBreath the style is commonly referred to as cookie monster vocals, jokingly sure, but they still have a point. Anyone can talk in a really deep voice, that is NEVER going to compare talent wise to someone actually capable of REAL lows, There are many styles of screaming, and they all require talent and technique. What this guy is doing is not impressive, go learn how to scream and you will realize just how easy this "style" is. If you can even call it that

  • @toThe9thPower I've been a vocalist for 8 years...I can guttural, pig squal, false chord...you name it. And EVERY single one of these styles takes tremendous amounts of practice and work to do well. Maybe you should learn :)

  • @LetgoOFyourBreath What this guy is doing is none of those styles, it is simply talking in a really deep voice at the very end of your vocal range. Nothing special about it, and if you are such an accomplished vocalists, let me hear some of your work? surely being a vocalist for 8 years would lead you to having at least one song I can hear and confirm it is actually you doing vocals. You clearly do not know shit about vocals if you think this is actually an impressive style

  • @toThe9thPower Could you name some examples of other bands doing "gutterals?" Apparently, my idea of gutterals is completely off. I learned gutterals listening to the Faceless. They aren't easy, bro. Takes a lot of stamina to do what he's doing. He's not "talking low", he's suppressing his voice as he exhales. Screaming is pretty strait forward, too, lol. I learned that in like two days. It's also far more damaging to your throat than this.

  • @rippingthroughmetal you think this guy is doing gutturals? Or the last singer even? LOL! These vocals ARE NOT gutturals, even if you wish to defend them, they are not classified as gutturals. Go listen to Whitechapel, they have one of the best in the business. That is a proper low, one that can be sustained for an extended period of time. These lows you are hearing are not ones that can be held, and they are just talking.. I have spent years learning about this subject.

  • @toThe9thPower Lmfao, dude, there is no difference between Whitechapel's gutterals and this. They're both gutterals! They are applying the same technique! I don't know what you're talking about.

  • Comment removed

  • @toThe9thPower The fact that you use Whitechapel and TDWP as your examples shows quite the contrary, I think, lol.

  • @toThe9thPower I never said these WERE gutturals. And if you think this is so easy clearly it is you that is the confused one...

  • im glad they dont spit out albums like whore babies, this shit is quality!! and that takes time mannnn

  • NEW FUCKING ALBUM ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!! It better be filled with all of the great riffs you held up production and pushed back the release date to get in there, in there!!!!

  • Listen to unexpect

  • whats this killswitch engage????

  • @SystematicEliminator clean vocals existed long before killswitch gay just a heads up

  • @thejagermeisterr Thanks for the heads up..I've only heard Shadows Fall&Killswitch which came to mind .

  • @SystematicEliminator you're a poophead

  • Not a fan of the clean vocals. I want them to be growling about severing skulls

  • @ThePlebe21 not all death metal has to be about simple gore, but im sure you have not realized that yet, probably just got into death metal no offense :)

  • Comment removed

  • that argument about bands being more original and talented i would have to say "Between the Buried and Me" is above the faceless in both areas but the faceless ismy favorite in terms of the sick ass alienated sound they have the btbam has that every now and then.

  • @bdragon99 eh i can respect that, but i don't fully agree, and i feel like the faceless has a much more technical feel and way better vocals haha, but im not sure, i haven't listen to btbam a ton so sorry if i offend, anyways i like the faceless' lyrics a lot better, nobody recreates that sound, Michael Keene's ideas are much deeper, the faceless don't sing just about extra-terrestrial, but interdementional and alternate theories to quantum physics. which is much more interesting. IMO of course

  • micheal keene is just the best!

  • Chill out guys it was delayed cause michael Keene or w/e broke his hand. They are set to tour in March and want the cd to be released before the tour so this month sometime for sure : )

  • this fall my ass

  • Oh no, no please take your time releasing the new album. It's only been over 3 years since PD came out and this new album has only been "expected to release" for 8 or so months.

  • Eidolons from Final Fantasy

  • Comment removed

  • get your shit together and get this record out!

  • I just want the new album...

  • lol @ "this fall", what is it supposed to mean? season? month? day? lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • don't go necrophagist on us!! those bastards are never gonna come out with that album

  • Neh I dont like it, too gentle, poppy and not agressive

  • best band like this is signal the firing squad

  • this is ok... not like their first album, cool break downs though

  • OK,The Faceless new album and the Spawn of Possession ones will be amazing,now we have to wait for Reign Supreme by Dying Fetus!

  • And I completely forgot to mention Gorguts somehow. I don't know dudes, I don't like much tech death in general and most of today's tech death just doesn't do it for me, it feels like soulless wankery. If you must listen to tech death, the old stuff is where it's at

  • AHHHHHHHHH MUST BANG HEAD OH SHIT IMA BREAK MY NECK!!!

  • Im usually ALWAYS agaisnt clean vocals in deathmetal, but his singing if fuckin good, and not over done. 

  • Comment removed

  • @mkstreets so true. its not 129381027389219837187 voices singing over top of eachother.

  • " Well, “The Eidolon Reality” for one thing is based on an idea outlined in a book I read called “The Holographic Universe”, which is sort of like a new, widely accepted alternative to quantum physics. It’s a pretty intense concept, kind of hard to wrap your mind around…" - Interview with Micheal Keene.

  • @TheAudioInjection gnarly, probably why i love the faceless so much is because they write about concepts that no average person can comprehend.

  • i heard this song last time i was astral projecting while on DMT.

  • Why does the best tech death metal take soo long to drop new shit

  • @tjonesjfk So they don't release turds like that new After the Burial album.

  • @tjonesjfk probably because its so hard to compose.

  • Why the cleans :( I honestly can't stand clean vocals in death metal/deathcore except in the case of some melodic deathcore. But this.... is just..... disappointing. Don't get me wrong though, this is a great song otherwise.

    P.S. YEAH where is the album??????

  • @SpectreMusicCo what the fuck dude, amazing band does a great job at being musically inclined and creating atmosphere with clean vocals and then you have to come along and complain about it. please take your head out of your ass, bands that can mix cleans into their metal successfully are fucking amazing. it's a beautiful thing. don't hate

  • @intodusk CALM DOWN! He was just honestly stating his opinion. I like The Faceless's cleans though, but I probably had to get use to them because I usually don't like cleans in my metal.

  • @intodusk Fans like you disappoint me more than cleans. I'm not hating on the song. I LOVE the song. I'm just not a fan of cleans in most death metal. I NEVER said that The Faceless weren't amazing, they ARE. I never denied that they were musically inclined, they ARE. I just don't like cleans. Shoot me.

  • what happened to the new album?

  • Comment removed

  • idk. didn't really like this song that much

  • esto esta muy bueno!

  • I really don't even care anymore, clean vocals or not. Just release some new fucking material god damnit
